用轻量里程计替代高耗时算法,实现高效精准的激光定位。

Balancing Act: Trading Off Odometry and Map Registration for Efficient Lidar Localization

  • 引入两种轻量级里程计,替代传统高耗时方法。
  • 定位间隔延长后计算量降低27%至91%,精度仍达顶尖水平。
  • 适合对实时性要求高的自动驾驶系统使用。

大多数自动驾驶车辆依赖精确高效的定位能力,通过将实时传感器数据与预存地图对比来导航环境。在保证定位精度的同时提升计算效率仍是重大挑战,因为高精度方法通常伴随更高计算开销。本文提出两种改进激光定位效率的方法并评估其性能影响:首先,将两种轻量级里程计——无对应关系的多普勒-惯性估计器和低成本轮速-陀螺仪(OG)方法——集成到拓扑定位流程中,并与最先进的迭代最近点(ICP)基准进行对比。结果表明,多普勒和OG方法更新更快、计算更轻量,而ICP虽精度更高但计算负担更大。其次,通过控制定位更新频率并利用里程计在两次更新间提供中间估计,证明可在保持高精度的前提下优化计算效率。基于超过100公里的真实道路驾驶数据,在不同道路环境下测试表明,采用不同方法可使计算量分别减少27%、80%和91%,同时维持顶尖精度。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Most autonomous vehicles rely on accurate and efficient localization, which is achieved by comparing live sensor data to a preexisting map, to navigate their environment. Balancing the accuracy of localization with computational efficiency remains a significant challenge, as high-accuracy methods often come with higher computational costs. In this paper, we present two ways of improving lidar localization efficiency and study their impact on performance. First, we integrate two lightweight odometry estimators, a correspondence-free Doppler-inertial estimator and a low-cost wheel odometer-gyroscope (OG) method, into a topometric localization pipeline and compare them against a state-of-the-art (SOTA) iterative closest point (ICP) baseline. We highlight the trade-offs between these approaches: the Doppler and OG estimators offer faster, lightweight updates, while ICP provides higher accuracy at the cost of increased computational load. Second, by controlling the frequency of localization updates and leveraging odometry estimates between them, we demonstrate that accurate localization can be maintained while optimizing for computational efficiency using any of the presented methods. We evaluate these approaches using over 100 km of unique real-world driving data in different on-road environments. By varying the localization interval, we demonstrate that computational effort can be reduced by 27%, 80%, and 91% for the ICP, Doppler, and OG estimators, respectively, while maintaining SOTA accuracy.
